Welcome to Litsy!

Having this bad dry cough for 8 weeks now, decided to tap into Mother Nature. Sometimes herbal is the way to go. Wish me luck.
1/4 cup of honey
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp tumeric - I used the soft caps that can allow you to open and placed in drinks or food.
Stir and put in a dry@place.

I made it yesterday, let‘s see if it better than various meds.

A man leaves a dinner party at a relative stranger‘s house to go upstairs, promptly locks himself in a spare room & won‘t come out. The rest of the book centers on three other characters who barely know the man. There are fantastic scenes and great lines scattered throughout and, as usual, Smith can blow your socks off with her way with words. In fact, her use of puns and knock-knock jokes made me chuckle. It‘s a pick but a low one for me.

This line may not translate as well as a one-liner, but it‘s a great ending to a paragraph about Google (and in my mind any social media.). I find myself alternately informed and insulted whenever I am on social media.

Ali Smith is one of my absolute favorite writers and this book has so much of her signature brilliance. The word play and meandering monologues that suddenly reveal a key piece of information, characters to fall in love with, and bizarre events that are really about something much larger. The dinner party scene in the book is unforgettable.

It‘s Ali Smith.
This time a man who has been brought by a friend, to someone‘s dinner, locks himself into the bedroom of the people he visits.

The second Ali Smith.
This one is about a man who‘s invited to dinner. When everything thinks he‘s going to borrow the toilet, he locks himself in one of the bedrooms and refuse to move. We see the way this is effecting people around him

Interesting read, four chapters which illustrate differing views on Miles' self imprisonment and his place in his life and the world. I liked the linguistic cleverness very much.

You know when you've finished a really marvellous book and nothing will fill the void? That happened last night and thus I spent an hour dithering over which one to read next. I worried this might be a bit highbrow but so far it's very clever and keeping me turning the pages. ☺☺

She‘s a great writer, so I enjoyed this book. I wanted more detail about the man who locks himself in the room - he seems kind and well adjusted in everyone‘s telling or interactions with him - is that why he does it? For a break from reality? Some characters are horrible, but mostly kind and funny and normal people
